Highlights
Pet care experience
From Home Passionate Pet Sitter!
I have a deep love for animals and truly enjoy the process of connecting with them. For me, it’s more than just "watching" a pet; I love learning about their unique personalities, specific traits, and individual needs to ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. PS - If you are wanting a house sit it is just me and not Thomas since we live in different areas now. Unfortunately we got an update from our housing authority (in Minneapolis) that we aren't supposed to have dogs 50 lb or more in the condo, so we can not accept bigger dogs unless its for a short duration.
Cat care experience
Krista & Thomas also care for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Krista is amazing with the animals. Send lots of pictures and updates and is a great house sitter. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing extra love and care to pets when they are away from home.
Thomas is very empathetic with dogs and can really read them well. Hershi tends to be super nervous and clingy, but he helped her relax and enjoy her stay with him while we were gone! He's super chill and personable, which helped me relax leaving her with him. She was a lot calmer at pickup, so I take it as a sign that she loved her Thanksgiving break with him!
Daisy had a great time with Thomas! This was the first time she had stayed with anyone she didn’t know before, and was about the longest I had been away from her. Right away at drop off I knew she was in good hands and could tell from the pictures Thomas sent during the week that she settled right in. My regular sitter had also dropped out right before my trip, so it was especially helpful how accommodating Thomas was with my last minute request. Daisy clearly has a new bud and it was so nice to be able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands.
Krista and Thomas took great care of my dog!
Thomas and Krista are clearly animal lovers! Thomas took great care of our kitties and was super flexible when we unexpectedly had to change our pickup time. He sent pictures and communicated about how the cats were doing the whole time. We appreciated his care for their individual needs and personalities
Thomas did a fantastic job looking after my cat.

Schedule
Thomas is a homebody and just goes into his art studio for a couple of hours in St Paul Mon-Fri. His hours are very flexible usually from 11:30am-3pm and can be less if needed to be home with a pet. My schedule is also flexible as I do online sales.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I put my clients needs first! Ultimately I'm working for you so I want your cares and concerns to be met. I am very happy to use your toys to play with your pet as well as pamper them. Give them just enough attention and space to warm up to me. Let me know if your pets have any dietary needs. I have experience taking care of pets with seizures as well and giving their medicine in with their daily meals.
A typical day
I love to play with pets and get them active and engaged; unless their personality is more chill down and cuddle and we can do that as well! We have a huge balcony (at Thomases) with a very big window to see out of, many of the pets love this and I feel it is a big perk of the space. :)
